    Gonna have to hope that floater starts to fall.

    I wonder if GS would actually adopt this strategy or just stick with their normal thing.

    He's getting so much contact with the defender basically bodying him up/occupying his landing space soooooo I believe he's anticipating so much contact (rightly so) that it's fukin with his shot/release.

    I really fear he will land on gobert's foot and roll his ankle.

    I question the EFFORT so far. You can't really control a bad shooting night but you can control effort.

    Yup.

    Warriors are sweeping this team even if they make it out of first round.

    I believe he’ll get out of this, but he needs to do it. It’s ok to not be alright with how he’s playing at this very moment.

    It's not about doubting, it's about objectively looking at his performance. I'm as big a Harden fan as anyone, but you can't sit there and tell me he's played even averagely thus far.

    Harden definitely choking but outside of Capela and Gordon, nobody playing well. Some of this has to fall on coaching - where are the adjustments, this is the 3rd game in a row.

    Utah is SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD defensively though. The Warriors by comparison are absolutely dreadful.

    Seems like James has just no confidence for some reason, which is not exactly good...hope he makes a dunk or something to wake up, he's making Westbrook look good so far.

    Do the guys on this team that played last year even care about how close we were to getting to the NBA finals or is it just about awards, some recognition and getting paid?

    If Harden plays like this we may not even get there. This team is certainly capable of blowing 3-0
